Since starjava, unlike the rest of the USSC, is not platform-specific
it would be a good idea to make (prominently) available some
platform-independent installation method - a zip file (and tar file?)
of the whole lot, as well as the WebStart option. There's not much
to go wrong giving people a zip file, and paranoid people may prefer
it to executing an installation script. I've had something along
these lines available on the treeview web page for some time
(http://www.star.bris.ac.uk/~mbt/treeview/install.html - this does
actually install the whole starjava set).
